1 COMMENT

  1. I am very disappointed that “reporters” must stand outside in front of a doorway, at some building, somewhere to give their report in all kinds of weather. Whose brilliant idea is this anyway? Why can we not expect to see them giving a report in a heated or air condition room at the station, instead of a cascading snow fall in front of a building’s door? What is wrong with using common sense? I enjoy your staff of reporters. Some ladies need to look at themselves in the mirror before they broadcast and question how tight their dresses are. Fashion should not wrinkle, (too tight and not at all sexy) but flow. Other than that, I look forward to turning on your station for the news every night.
